Two years after Ford unveiled their e-crate motors [0] and it being available for the public[1], are there any interesting ev conversions? Any plans to use these motors in the future? To me, it seems that this approach to converting ICE to EVs should be quite popular with privacy-minded individuals. Yes, the cost may be a bit prohibitive at this time but technology evolves and at some point it may be more tractable. I just can't seem to get past all of the connectivity in current EVs, I by far rather tackle one of these conversions.
